| no, epidurals don't hurt that bad. I've had 3 of them and it was no big deal. The contractions are what hurt, it was just difficult to sit still while they did it while I was having such bad contractions!! All I did was let them know when a strong one was coming or they could tell on the monitor and they would stop until it was over. Don't worry, it will be fine! ↑ |

| are you a person that is scared of needles? they dont bother me but also i think that when people get even the most painful shots, the doctors and medical people will help you through it. god luck and congrats on your little one ↑ |

| I was 7cm when I got the epidural so by that time the contractions were so strong that the needle didn't faze me. I will tell you in my experience it is harder to push with the epidural. I could not feel myself pushing and it prolonged my labor which was exhausting. After 2 hours of pushing and the baby not moving they had to use forcepts. I am on baby #2 and I am so scared of them using forcepts again that I'll endure the pain and skip the epidural. Ask to see a pair of forcepts and imagine how they are going to fit inside of you. And the epidural did not help ease the pain of those going inside of me. ↑ |

| toshia, lol...isnt the baby way bigger than the forcepts? i can imagine either way its going to hurt while having a baby...can anyone tell me if when the right time for an epidual is? like how do you know when to ask for it? you dont know how long your labor is going to be, so how do you know when to ask? im a first time mom and soo curious but also looking foward to it. ↑ |
